Ok, kinda part of Stu’s rosette thread but felt it fit better here, my first attempt at perfling rope in processe laying on the WRC top sets hey will be going into.
Just toying around with some scrap I had laying around, some poplar and card stock. Glued the blue to the poplar in stacks of five with TB and then clamped as a stack, went and sanded for an hour, cane back and glued those pieces in staggered stacks of four, sanded other project, then glued the stacked blocks, etc.
Spent this morning stripping out some more poplar for my fan tile project, split a log I have kept in the shop for three years for back plate sets, snapped a bandsaw blade and drives it was time for lunch… Gonna hit it hard onece I put this iDevice down ;)

Had a moment between guitars, couple other paying wood projects ( laughs at irony still breathing ) to saw up my angled poplar/blue fiber perfling stack. Laugh with me, just now noticed that you started with a long rectangle then cut at a diagonal. A lot easier to glue up that way, but what about sawing off that angled slice?
I glued some scrap to both the end grain edges of my stack to stabilize it for sawing and various handling then ripped slices on the band saw. .060” was as thin as I dared but thought if I stabilized the edge grain with glue I could get about .75mm.
Glued up a wheat and an arrow stack last night. The wheat I used a 1/4mm fiber element between hoping it will be string enough to bend without breaking, used TB cut with 25% water. For the arrow I matched the points accordingly and glued the .010” fiber to one outside surface only thinking it can be the inside of the rosette curve and all add the outside layer as I glue them into the top. Hopeing to join two WRC tops today if all goes according to plan so I can stuff them tomorrow.
I always get jacked up doing something new, this is my first diagonal perfling go-around in case you couldn’t tell, hope I don’t get bucked off and stomped…

John is too modest. Here’s a link to some of his line work.
https://johnguitar.com/almost-finished/
Ya, I poped on over to look at John’s line work, makes mine look like a cartoon :/ Baby steps…
I glued my diagonal work, a strip of simple wheat and chevron, with TB and water and it’s taking days to dry fully, which is fine of course but I’m not the most patient man.
There was a drop off scrap piece of my diagonal on the ground next to the band saw, thought about it a moment, about 1.4mm thick, glued it up with the blue fiber on each face with some thick CA just for kicks. Thought about it some more and tacked some of my extra 1mm veneer to each side on one edge, then ran off 1.5mm strips on the band saw with a simple zero relief plate of lexan on the band saw. The saw kerf is just under .75mm so I can get about 10 strips per inch if all goes well.
I’m torn between just using CA and not having all the swelling etc of waterborn glued but a little less flexible vs. just stinking with the TB. I don’t use HHG as a rule, I use the Frank Ford quicky version when I have a real need, as in flooding a tile or perfling strip to let it swell up in a groove.
Warmed up to zero F this morning, and of course it snowed and had to snow blow for a couple hours, miggt just make it a self care Sunday and chill in the house…

Thanx for sharing that Rob, I like how dynamic it becomes.
Getting the balance with all the elements in one place is the challenge, I’m getting a grip on the physical process, between poor eyesight and shaking hands ;). I need to come to terms with a few asthetic elements I’m fighting with in my marquetry triangles, means I need to make a few more variations off those three logs I’ve made so far. I dug out some scrap AYC tonight and squared up a few blocks to make into log and perfling veneers thinking I might go that way for the color. Did I already type that upthread? Ha good thing the mind is the first thing to go ;)
I see Steven has posted on the instagram some in process shellac of the rosettes he started this thread with, guessing he is in the home stretch and too busy to share with us ;)
I might be done with posting on instagram, they just kept feeding me a lot of **** I don’t want to see, figure there are hundreds of cool Spanish guitars being built but all I ever see are stupid poodle memes and large breasted crotch shots. I f’n hate poodles ;)
